The production of sucrose radicals with heavy-ion irradiation was investigated by an EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectroscopic method. We examined the correlation between the production of sucrose radicals and the ion species, as well as LET (linear energy transfer). The spectral pattern obtained was the same for various ion species, including helium, carbon, neon, argon and iron ions. Quantitative EPR analyses showed that the production of sucrose radicals depended on both the ion species and the LET for the same dose of 50 Gy. The spin yield obtained showed a logarithmic correlation with the LET. In addition, the EPR response had a linear relationship with dose in the dose range of 5-60 Gy. Thus the present EPR results show that sucrose can be used to monitor the ionizing particle based on the radical yield.

Climate change significantly affects honey bee populations and their access to natural food sources, demanding alternative economic feed sources. Longan stands out as the most important fruit crop in Southeast Asia, but with a surplus of low-grade fruit that is not suitable for the market. This study investigates the potential of longan syrup as an alternative carbohydrate source for honey bees by measuring sugar composition, phytochemical profiles, feed, and survival, as well as the resulting gut microbial changes.

Article Synopsis
- The study compared sugar-free (A) and sugar-added (B) carob sherbet fermented with water kefir grains, noting significant changes in pH, TSS, and titratable acidity after 48 hours of fermentation.
- After fermentation, sugar-free A maintained higher levels of beneficial compounds like gallic acid and displayed a lower decrease in antioxidant activity (DPPH) compared to sugar-added B, although both saw declines over time.
- Moreover, A showed better mineral retention after 14 days, while B exhibited higher microbial counts throughout fermentation and storage.

Article Synopsis
- - Polysaccharides were extracted from leaves (WSPRaL) and stems (WSPRaS) of a plant, yielding about 3% and 3.25%, respectively, with varying compositions of proteins, lipids, and sugars.
- - Detailed analyses showed that WSPRaL and WSPRaS contain different types of carbohydrates, with SEM and FT-IR used to examine their microstructure and physicochemical properties.
- - The polysaccharides demonstrated strong antioxidant, antibacterial, and biofilm-inhibitory activities, suggesting their potential as functional ingredients in the food and nutraceutical industries.
Different Combinations of Nitrogen and Carbon Sources Influence the Growth and Postbiotic Metabolite Characteristics of Strains Isolated from Malaysian Foods.

Postbiotic metabolites produced by strains isolated from Malaysian food have been extensively reported for their positive effects on health. Understanding the effects of different combinations of carbon and nitrogen sources on the growth and corresponding characteristics of postbiotic metabolites produced by different strains of is important for various applications. Hence, the effects of different combinations of carbon (glucose, lactose, sucrose and dextrose) and nitrogen (X-SEED Kat, X-SEED Peptone, X-SEED Nucleo Advanced, Nucel875 MG, FM888 and FM902) sources on the growth of six strains of (RG11, RG14, RI11, RS5, TL1 and UL4) and the functional characteristics (bacteriocin inhibitory activity, antioxidant activity and lactic acid concentration) of their respective postbiotic metabolites were investigated in this study.
